My breakthrough to deeper pow on tele (which really isn't much different than fixed heel) is shorter radius turns which increases speed down the fall line. This is where weighting and unweighting and shifting one's center of gravity back a bit can create a bouncing rythmn which will slow you down a bit and help with each turn. Mostly, I go along with the ride and have a blast wiping out when it gets too fast or I get too tired. Big turns across the fall line in deep pow, unless you are traveling at mach speed, are to hard to initiate and wear me out, leading to more wipe-outs. My stance has to be tight or the skis wander. I have to get the bounce to break free of the snow to initiate my turns. My crud strategy is real low, tight and fast.

NO NO NO. That hasn't changed a bit. The campground at the base has a bar now with $5 buckets of Pabst and GO-GO girls...

Agreed TLG. Some people are just too cool for school.

Erie is a blast! It has changed a lot since you used to live here Mikey

Hey TLG, there is some good stuff downvalley on the way to Sawpit. I can't remember which drainages. Go to the Telluride Mountaineer for beta... Look up Angela Hawse while you are in Ouray, very cool

Fin Du Monde is the Bombe! My absolute favorite after any tour or day on the hill. Of course it makes driving a bit challenging....

AHHH Blow Me. When it is time for me to go, I hope I am out skiing in the backcountry. What a bunch of control freaks...

Ghey

Sounds like the OE-800 talkin'....beyotch

The more you ski, the more you learn...

The skiing on the Colchuck Glacier Looked like it would be Schweet. It was great to be out there this time of year. Bug and I made a solid skin track for those that might follow (Hroarck). Some of the turns are a bit awkward tho, we were following an old packed trail made by snowshoers (sp?) Goat

I have done it out West where there are fewer rail lines. If you look at the maps, by the time you get East of the Mississippi it is one massive jumble. I road from Grand Junction Colo to Reno one summer. It was a blast, and weird and dangerous, and beautiful. Doing it in the winter would be brutal on the exposure level.

Hey Bug! I am definitely interested. Let me see if I can juggle a few things around Cheers, BG
